Post your dream job:
Mine would be working in a Trappist Monastery in Belgium brewing beer all day. Chimay, Orval...any of these would be fine.

Imagine that, beer, work, and silence. I'd happily put in my 12 hour day, toiling in silence and then retire to a modest bedroom for meditation and rest.


Gotta better dream job, post it.

3. I Enjoy What I Do Now
I'm the business manager for a large early childhood education center. We cater to the poorest in the city and I do a lot of work to help get/keep our funding. The great part is when I get tired or stressed, I can go to the nursery and hold babies!

Edited on Fri May-25-07 04:58 PM by GoddessOfGuinness
Do us a favor, and don't try to conceal past dramas. And if anybody questions your sexuality, tell them you're running on the mind-your-own-fucking-business platform.

I just to be an international operations manager and spent half my time somewhere in Europe or Asia. The pay wasn't great, but the perks were incredible.

43. Travel itenerary planner
In fact, Mr 'pede mentioned just last night that would be a good job for me, because of my interest in geography and things foreign. Also, what a charge I've gotten out of scheduling our vacations in the past. What brought it up was the brouchure we got from my college for a trip to Tahiti and Fr Polynesia. Tech alumni assoc sponsors 3-4 trips a year and we always get the info (never go, no spare $$$) and works with a travel company out of Chicago. Said he was right, that would have been a good career for me. Now there are too many people much younger than I am doing it. :(
